    Young country - 63 years old a young country?  China is also a young country, it is founded in 1949.  Singapore is also a young country which is founded in 1965.  The politics in Malaysia has not improved to say the least as long as it is of the same guy and with voters having the same mentality.  Keep staying young and innocent and keep fighting for the right government from hopeful to hopeless.  Keep voting the crooks into the government.   The competition amongst the world will not wait for you.

    So what makes you think democracy is the best form of govt?  I think you misunderstood what I am saying.  If the people are NOT happy with the government, they will revolt and topple the government, just like what they did to KMT in 1940s in China.  You really need to read up about China - there are elections on many level.  Please don't impose your ideas on other and think everyone should be the same.  If you think so, perhaps convince the Arabs who are dictators and many have very awful human rights.  Starting from the Saudis.

    SV Choong.. this is a discussion. Every is allowed to present their facts and talk. But you just told me not to ‘impose’ my ideas on here - sounds like it is you that need to take a deep breath and re read what you have written!

    Interesting articles to read and somehow it feels like Malaysians are undermined as if we do not have our own brains to think for ourselves as to what image we have of any company or agencies. We do not need anyone to tell us what is the truth and what is not; leave that to us to think for ourselves. Giving excuses has led to the state we are in; excuses after excuses while decisions are made to restore one of the prides of Malaysia, nothing is really left now but memories. It is taking too long, just too long when our competitors are refurbishing or looking for innovative ways to develop their product. Just my two cents.

    How many times have the government of Malaysia changed hands since 1957?  Pretty much none!   Changing of PM and party doesn't mean change in government - we get the same old guy back in the office after the change of government.  How many times have the government of Singapore changed hands since 1965?  None!  How many times have the government of China changed hands since 1949, none!  But there has been several leaders.  You see where the pattern is?  Already there is a deep seated pre-assumption that things have not changed.  I suggest further reading into the Chinese government.   How did the Communist succeed in China?  If not for the blessing of people who put them in power, do you think they can remain in power?  The Republic of China (KMT) government was defeated and fled to Taiwan simply because they did not win the support of Chinese people during 1940s.

    Of the 62 years since independence, what kind of democracy and governance has Malaysian given us?  Think about this!  Is it as successful as China?  We should give democracy the benefit of doubt, instead of accepting it just because "the West said so".

    SV Choong... we managed to change our government finally in 2018. We are a young country - give us a bit of time. 
     

    what makes you so sure that the People are able to influence who becomes president in China? Yes, KMT lost the civil war and ran off to 🇹🇼 in 1949, but what other party is there in China?

    My concern is that AK is only interested in taking out its competition. There will be no pride in what MH stands for or drive to make MH ‘great again’. They have tried it before with the share swap deal - MH ended up worse off. 
     

    I really hope they don’t fall into the hands of TF. What we need is a foreign investor who have the knowledge, expertise and experience of performing a turnaround. JAL seems to be the best bet. KUL is definitely not as premium as SIN but I feel that there is still room for both full service carriers and low cost carriers. 
     

    the only reason why Khazanah would want to do that is that the board members will benefit from something! It is a no brainer. Hope Dr M prevails this time!

    Such rubbish from Khazanah. Air Asia, as you have all mentioned, will be interested to take MH out of the equation. They are in it for themselves only. Just like what Mueller did with EK and MH’s European ops. 
     

    they need to think long term - and if JL or AF/KLM can not only invest in MH but also make KUL a more competitive hub... that will be much better for both.  Remember Lee Kuan Yew said that if given the choice, he would prefer for SIN to continue being an international air hub rather than protect SIA. 
     

    this is why SIN and SQ are where they are now...

    That was a huge mistake by the previous CEO. I did not understand why they did it. 
    MAskargo under JJ Ong was also very profitable. 
     

    they were desperate to show some positive numbers so decided to downsize rapidly - but all in the wrong areas. Very shortsighted as you say

    Finally! Oneworld cooperation for MH has been abysmal. The airline that sponsored MH into OW was QF, and they dont even fly to KUL.

    I was so surprised that MH and BA didnt codeshare on their KUL-LHR flights.

    CX pulled out of Malaysia and left us with KA service only. But I guess MH codeshares with CX out of HKG.

    MH codeshares with QR and AA - so at least thats something. MH used to codeshare with AA and their onward flights to 🇺🇸 (To and fro CDG, FRA and AMS)

    Very disappointing news... i always thought that khazanah was a well run company but the recent selling spree and the fact that they didnt learn from last time with regards to air Asia and mas tells me otherwise!! Wow. These are people entrusted with billions of ringgit.

    Just chuck them down the drain lah. So stupid.

    Also, have they forgotten about TF and his jibby liveried airplane??

    Nice one Craig... I completely agree with your comments. We know that the tourism ministry is getting less allocation compared to other ministries, which is a shame considering tourism is number 3 in terms of income for Malaysia.

    There were a few officers from tourism Malaysia who have been arrested for corruption, and I think the previous tourism minister has been taken to task for using the allocated money for her own benefit.

    You cant pick and choose which countries you want to count as tourists. There is a definition - I think it is if you stay overnight in Malaysia.

     

    So in Europe where countries are all bordering each other, you are going to discount the tourists that travel by road from eg France to Germany? Thats just ridiculous.

     

    You cant have two rules. And you cant justify fact on false information.

     

    I can agree that tourism is stagnating in Malaysia - the growth rate has actually fallen into negative territory.

    There is more to do to help it - unfortunately as Suhaimi says, our tourism minister is a moron.

    And the news that comes out from Malaysia is rubbish -bomohs looking for MH370, how to identify gays, sodomy 3, ketuanan melayu, anti-shiah, anti Jew (when in fact it should be just anti Zionist regime) etc etc. The current government is just as bad as the old one - this current one is just purely because of incompetence, whereas the old one was more malignant.

     

     

    As one of the Malaysian diaspora in the U.K., I do my bit all the time but I am ashamed reading the news that appears almost on a weekly basis. Its like the media has made malaysia a laughing stock of the world and take great pleasure in writing up this crap.
